A shooting broke out Thursday evening in Aussillon, a small town in the Tarn, causing two serious injuries, we learned on Friday from a source close to the investigation.

"Exchanges of shots took place, there were three wounded, two of which were serious," said the mayor of Aussillon Fabrice Cabral.

The two injured, one of whom was shot in the lung, were transferred to a hospital in Toulouse.

The third injured was hit by a shot.

A link with a violent argument which occurred around 9 p.m.?

Investigators were on Friday looking for the suspected gunner (s) and the vehicle in which they fled.

The facts took place around 11:30 p.m. on the market square, located near a group of buildings.

Is there a link between the shots and a violent argument which arose around 9 p.m. in Aussillon?

The police are trying to determine the circumstances of the shooting, using CCTV images of this town of 6,000 inhabitants, adjacent to Mazamet.
